A Small Update for a Small Mod

True Transfur 2.0.0 — requires Changed 0.15.7 or newer (Forge 1.20.1) and Mixin Args (1.0).

Despite the title, this is a complete rework of INSTINCT mode plus a brand-new Re-Born system.

INSTINCT mode — reworked

Camera and body

• Reworked from scratch: the old AI-host approach was removed and replaced with a technical player body that stays synchronized with the mob you control.
• First person follows the mob's eyes; third person lets you freely look around the observed mob without jitter or fast spinning.
• Held items no longer follow the mouse: the hand sways, bobs and swings in sync with the mob, including its attacks.
• Your pose is synchronized with the mob (swimming, crawling and so on), so hitboxes and overlays match what the mob is doing.
• The mob inherits your appearance editor values: eye style, eye color, hair color and sclera color.
• The technical player body is no longer noticed or targeted by other mobs. Other players can still interact with the mob normally.
• The vanilla HUD looks the same as in Player mode: form-specific hearts, and air bubbles are hidden for aquatic forms.
• Fixed leftover gravity, collision and invulnerability flags after leaving INSTINCT.

Items, food and health

• You can eat food in INSTINCT, including in survival mode.
• You can throw snowballs, eggs, splash and lingering potions and experience bottles from the mob's eyes. More items can be added with the tag true_transfur:instinct_throwable.
• Hunger is fully restored when the controlled mob absorbs a humanoid (health was already restored before).
• Natural regeneration, regeneration effects and golden apples now heal the controlled mob. Previously the mob's health overwrote them.
• Auto-eat: when hungry (food level 14 or lower) or hurt (60% health or lower), the mob takes food from your inventory or hotbar and eats it with the normal eating animation, sounds and effects. Golden apples are saved for when health is at 50% or lower. Harmful food, chorus fruit and suspicious stew are skipped. It does not trigger during a fight unless health is at 35% or lower, and it stops immediately if you start eating yourself.
• Totem of Undying now works correctly: the totem is consumed from your inventory instead of staying infinite.

Combat

• If another player (including a latex player) hits your mob, the mob fights back for 5 seconds. Every new hit extends the timer.
• The config option transfurredPlayerNeutrality now works in both control modes:
  • true: hostile mobs do not target you in INSTINCT or Player mode, unless you attacked them first.
  • false: any hostile mob can target you in any mode, and your mob attacks everything that targets it.

Loot orb

• The red loot orb now appears reliably in INSTINCT. It is created at the mob's position early in the death event and takes priority over other death-drop handling.
• It works for any transfurred, non-human player in any control mode. Human players are not affected, so vanilla drops and other keep-inventory mods work as usual.

Re-Born — new system

Applies to adult Dark Latex Wolves (male and female). Pups die normally.

• At 0 HP you do not get the death screen. You enter a near-death state with a screen effect and a "Fight for your life" prompt with a progress bar.
• Mash Space to fill the bar. You have 10 seconds and must be at 85% or more when the timer ends. The Space icon shows your presses accurately.
• Hold Space for about 1.5 seconds to give up and die instantly.
• While fighting, you lie on the ground. Other players see the pose too.
• On success the screen fades like falling asleep and you vanish for other players. Black latex blocks spread around the spot and a black latex crystal appears. The transformation animation is skipped.
• After 10 seconds you wake up as a Dark Latex Wolf Pup. The crystal is destroyed when you reappear.
• To grow back into an adult, defeat 30 humanoids and stand near black latex. Progress is shown in chat. The list of valid humanoids is the tag true_transfur:reborn_humanoids (zombies, skeletons, villagers, illagers, witches, piglins, players and more).
• Works together with INSTINCT: if the controlled mob dies, Re-Born starts for you. The pup form is kept after death when the Changed keepForm game rule is enabled.

Compatibility

• Changed: Synergy: the issue where Synergy's mobs interacted with the technical player body was fixed on Synergy's side. When Synergy's changedSynergyNativeOrigins game rule is enabled, True Transfur applies only to players who chose a native Changed origin. A non-native player who uses /tt_debug mode now gets a clear message instead of a misleading "not transfurred" error.
• Changed Extras (optional): the in-game survival guide book is overridden with a new text that warns that reversing a transformation kills you with True Transfur.
• Direct support exists only for Changed Synergy. Other Changed addons are not officially supported yet. Please report bugs on Discord.

Other changes

• Added Russian and English text for all Re-Born messages.
• Added pack.mcmeta, so mod resources load without warnings.
• Removed the old AI-host mixins that were replaced by the new INSTINCT implementation.
